Default Some people like to refer to the A4 as a "Stealth" car? B.S.! Cop magnet!

Before my A4, I had a Mustang GT convertible... big, loud, fast, light up the tires in a heartbeat! Not a single ticket in 2 years. ZERO. Never even had a cop look at me sideways.

Now, in the A4, the "stealth sports sedan"... 3 tickets in 14 months. G*dammit! Just got a +15mph speeding ticket today (of course, i'm innocent!). Going to trial on the 2nd next week, wish me luck... praying the officer is a no show.

Don't even get me started on scratches, accidents.... the Stang, 2 years, not a single parking lot scratch, no accidents, nothing. The Audi? Grandpa plows into me, shopping cart dings, scrape on the front bumper, etc etc. Killing me.

Just venting.

Default You realize the two theories are mutually exclusive...

If your car is a cop magnet, it's very visible, and attracts the attention of everyone around. By definition, this includes grandpa and shopping carts should be avoiding your car! ;-)

Really, I suspect it's just bad luck. What color is your car? Maybe it's the color that's attracting attention? I've got a silver, and I blend into the traffic more often than not, when I'm exceeding the posted limits. Some of the colors do kind of shout "LOOK AT ME!". :-)

Audi's attract tickets because the people driving them can usually pay the fines...

NO, don't tell me the cops are now doing "economic status profiling" ;-)
